Hey Folks! Sam here from Volsunga Gaming.
If you are interested in watching my content where I provide guides, review content & changes, upload solo's of 6mans/raids (most recently my hunter solo'ing the rift to thrang) or see some of my more controversial comedic video's (the links to my channel are in my signature)
Introduction
This thread is an in-depth listing of all itemization buffs of the level 65 loot. Screenshots showing all of the different sets & crafted items in order to show you what is coming up. I have spent all morning gathering the screenshots and discussing the item changes with friends and viewers of my channel. And the beneath comment will pretty much sum up my views on the stat changes.
Firstly I would like to state, these stats were changed with update 24, so are likely the final product. Which is a shame, as many of the items (mainly crafted) are awful. Many are significantly worse than the level 60 items we already own.
I would also like to thank Aerilia for having told me that the itemization had received a statistics change.
(If anybody can tell me how to actually embed the images onto the forum so these are not just links, it would be much appreciated. I tried the [img] [/img] and it did not work.) Thanks in advance.
Personally, I find it highly disappointing that the heavy sets are tank sets with no option for damage from them (though this is trivial considering all of the crafted loot is terrible). I think the Dev's need to re-look at the numbers on these sets and crafted items as these items are worse statistically than the Moria sets& crafted items. The only reason to upgrade sets is purely for the set bonuses. Only Loremaster, Captain, Minstrel have stand out sets that is great. Hunters BG set is okay'ish set bonus. It depends how good the critical defence debuff is.
This solely depends on if the level 65 classic loot is being re-added back into the 65 cap. Or, is Barad Guluran & Ost Dunhoth purely giving bounties and the terrible generic loot that is the ''greater 'insert name' earring of 'insert name'" that we have all come to hate.
Im sure people would like to see the classic loot in the raids. Or at least on a vendor that requires an in-raid currency to barter.
I think that the statistics on the armour/jewellery both raid & crafted need to receive a further buff as the stats are lower than that at 60.
